     This is a very simple graphic novel that will captivate emerging young readers.  It also teaches a great lesson-  how to apologize and make a new friend.  The illustrations are bright and colorful.  The animals in the story are illustrated with great expressions.  The plot is easy to follow.

They peek over the fence and see evidence of a new neighbor.  They suspect that the new kid took their pail.  They cross over and end up running into the "monster."  Due to the misunderstanding about the pail, they throw mud pies at each other until the mice are chased back into their own backyard.  It is there that they realize they made a huge mistake.  The apologize to the neighbor and end up becoming friends.
